My work uses CGI::FastTemplate and I found it easy to pick up. You can create multiple templates and nest them indefinitely - eg. a table template which contains 5 different row templates which in turn contain many different cell templates - and all of these can be pulled in on the fly so the Perl will control the logic and the designers can control the look and feel without having to touch your code (I mean "without you _letting_ them touch your code", obviously :-).

If you want to know any more, feel free to give me a shout. I'll be happy to fill in any gaps I have made in this description.
